Lyrics
LOVE LIES COLD
Love is distant and unfeeling
Loving, waiting
Expressing affection and patience
making my way through the minefield of the promises you made me
Navigating a field of broken promises you made
you tell me your heart’s still healing and then you call me up, elated
You claim to be healing but then show excitement when reaching out
you’ve loaded the dice, the champagne’s on ice
You've manipulated the situation, prepared for celebration
I come running, gunning, you lead me up to your bed then you leave me for dead
Drawn in by you, but left abandoned and hurt
In the darkness we’re lovers, baby
Intimacy exists in secrecy
but in the streets our love lies cold
Publicly, the relationship appears cold and distant
I’m still waiting for something better from you
Hoping for a better outcome or treatment from you
Baited, sedated
Tricked, drugged into a state of complacency
your body the drug, while I was craving your love
Desiring affection while being addicted to your physical presence
it’s like a game that you play, where my pain is the aim
You turn love into a cruel game with my suffering as the goal
you make me feel I can fly, then you leave me to die
Lifted up emotionally, then abandoned to despair
Only lovers wear roses, baby
Symbolic of romance, yet even romantic gestures can cause pain
but even roses can hurt you can’t they?
Even seemingly beautiful gestures can have hurtful consequences
I could only imagine hurting for you
Imagining enduring pain solely for you
